Carbon Atomic Number: 6 No one knows who first discovered carbon because it has been known since ancient times. Atomic Mass: 12.02 The Egyptians and the Sumerians are credited with the discovery because they were the Protons: 6 first to use charcoal (form of carbon). Neutrons 6 Electrons: 6 The colour depends on what form it's in. most of the time it's black but when it's graphite, Symbol: C it's gray and shiny. in the form of diamonds carbon is transparent. Melting Point: 3500.0 C Boiling Point: 4827.0 C Density: 293K : 2.62g/cm cubed interesting facts about carbon Period: 2 Group: 14 State: Solid Non-Metallic Flammable
Graphite is used for its thermal insulation
it is a good conductor or electricity
Carbon is the 4th most common element in the Universe
Carbon has the highest melting point of all elements
Graphite and clay are combined to make the lead used in pencils
Charcoal is commonly used for grilling food on barbeques
